B.C, TH URSDAY, NOVEM BER 28th, 1940 N o. 33 THE WAR Dliring the last few. weeks the self-styled ."invincibility" of totalitarian arms has been exposed to all the world for the sham it always was. Apart from their numbers the German airmen and their machines are no match for ours, and the British Navy continues to rule the seven seas, while the Italian forces have s h o ^ themselves the hopeless fighters whiph they were known to be. In the Far East Chang Kai Shek has been moving to the attack with his 6,000,000 trained and equipped meri laiid refuse^ tb listen to Japan's.pleas for peace, so forcing the . latter to a further adventure in Indo­ china, where the necessity of "saving her face" from her own people will embroil her almost any day now in war with the United States and Britain, unless a miracle occurs.' Although nothing definite is known; it is supposed that the reason for Mussolini's sudden attack on, Greece was his anger at Germany's recent moves to dominate the Balkans, which he regarded, like the Mediterranean, â j his own peculiar property. At any rate, h is descent on 'Greece certainly did not have Hitler's, blessing, arid today between the British Navy and Air Force, the Greek army, and his fellow dictator's lack of interest in the m atter he must realise that his equity, in both is beyond" redemption, if, indeed it ever existed. ■ At the same tim e H itler's continued disregard of the grow­ ing debacle to Italian arms in Albania is difficult to under­ stand short of spite work on his part; for he and the German. High Command have never had any illusions that their Achil­ les' heel was Italy's vulnerability, not to mention the poor fighting quality of; her-personnel. Even should Germany at- tack-Greece_through_Bulgaria_and_utterly;-def8at--her in -sp ite i of the certain support of the' British^ and Turkish forces -- and such a defeat is m ost, unlikely-- she could never recapture the Greek Islands from which our airmen can now make a , . shanibjes of Jtaly;_.As_toJjerxecent:m uch-Jvaunted-diplom atic- successes-in-the-BalkanSr'Avithout-Turkey-they -represent-a-- CHRYSANTHEMUM ASSOCIATION CIVIC BANQUET HONORING SUB.LIEUT.
